Nice EA

Nice EA rdb.

This has to be the best free Ea i've seen.

 

Ive been playing around with the EA 2b in strategy tester

does it take into consideration of the varible spread throughout the history of being tested or does it test all the histroy data at the going spread rate associated with that brocker at the time of testing.

because i got a laughable profit of $200k from one test earlier in the week for the period 1/1/09 to 15/3/09, then went to test it again a day later and it wouldnt even trade, went to the journal and it said it maxed out over the spread limit of 4, the current running rate was 5.

am i making a correct assumtion, caus if that is the case i have wasted a bit of time with testing as my result are flying everywhere.

so something seems to be wrong, as things are looking unrealistic

 

Firstly, thanks _rdb_ for making this EA available free of charge.

After reading the last 150 pages, I do feel like making a couple of comments. Firstly, not everyone has the time to spend several hours reading through the entire thread. They may have other commitments that make this impossible. For some people, English is not their first language.

A lot of unnecessary questions could be avoided and the thread could be shortened if a simple FAQ were drawn up and updated every now and then. This could include such details as _rdb_'s recommended/suggested settings changes, and could be posted as an attachment on the first page.

_rdb_:
(From page 169) If you have another order that is not opened by Your_Lucky, you must change the parameters:

AccountProfitClose = TRUE to be FALSE

I see your Picture, AccountEquity drawn from the larger AcountBalance. it gives the command to close all Your_Lucky Order made by it.[/PHP]

I'm about to start running 2 EA's on one account. Does this advice imply changing the AccountProfitClose to FALSE once the second EA is installed?

JStein, I can confirm there is a new Your Lucky 2d (designed for 4 spread brokers) and Thunder 4WD v2e. Tested on a broker with 3 pips fixed spread from the start of Feb till 13th April the new Your Lucky makes half as many trades as 2b and profit is only slightly smaller, there is also less drawdown. The new Thunder 4WD 2e makes different trades to Thunder 2b, however profit still ends up being pretty much the same over this period, however there is less drawdown. Based on my tests it does not makes nearly 100% more profits like the other statement which was posted.

There are new indicators in these two versions, for example WATL-Open Source.mq4 and Waddah_Attar_OMN.mq4 so based on this rbd has been able to improve the code. Why would rbd share it here when everyone just accuses him of stealing other peoples work and not being able to update the code himself? What does he gain by sharing it here with everyone for free, when all he gets is abuse from people?

There is MQ4 source code in the original post for version 1, if the reason you want the source code is so you can improve it, then you can go and improve that version, or better still if you know more about improving the code then rbd you can go and create your own EA from scratch. I myself will be using rbd's new version's as it looks very promising.

All the best, happy trading....

Good for you then.

I have said nothing bad about him, even donated to him just based on good demo results, but I did not even hear anything from him. Not even any updated EAs.

How much must I donate in order for him to share with me the updated EAs? Is it $1000 or $10,000??

Strategy Tester uses the broker spread at the time it is started. That (and for many other reasons) is why you should look skeptically at backtests. DO not trust them, except to check the trade logic of an EA. Demo tests are better, but not realistic, since all orders are immediately filled if in the money. Beware of results based on either...no one seems to post live results, so what conclusion to make?
